Creator's Key Takeaways

I have now been on 15 different cruises and I have a wide network of friends and acquaintances and online connections that provide me with a lot of knowledge and discussions about cruising

don't fly to your port on the day of the cruise if there's any way you can avoid it fly the day before and stay in a hotel that night

don't pack so much this is actually something I have to remind myself very often I tend to over pack

check your onboard account every day the reason I think this is important is because it's really easy to spend money while you're on the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly to your port the day before the cruise and stay in a hotel
Pack half of what you think you need
Check your onboard account daily for errors and budget control
Avoid getting wasted on the final night of the cruise
You don't have to leave your suitcases outside your cabin on the last night
